A former captain of his club side, Butina remains second in the goalkeeping pecking order behind Stipe Pletikosa.

The 28-year-old boasts more experience than his rival for the number one shirt but lacks the same prowess in the one-on-one situation.

He is strong at set pieces and looks likely to be a solid substitute.

Butina boasted just one game in World Cup qualifying but has been used more readily in the final warm-up games for the tournament.
